Why do globular clusters have no planets in then?

Globular clusters are dense groups of stars with close interactions that make it difficult for planets to form and remain stable. The strong gravitational forces and frequent stellar encounters can disrupt planetary systems, leading to their absence in globular clusters. Additionally, the metal-poor nature of globular cluster stars may hinder planet formation, as metals are important building blocks for planets.


What is a cluster of stars that looks like a ball and contains up to 1 million stars called?

A cluster of stars that looks like a ball and contains up to 1 million stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters are densely packed groups of stars bound together by gravity and can be found in the halos of galaxies.


Does a star cluster have more stars than a open star cluster?

There are two types of star clusters. Globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars which are gravitationally bound, while open clusters, are more loosely clustered, generally containing less than a few hundred stars, and are usually very young.


What kind of cluster did our sun form in?

Our sun formed in a cluster known as a stellar nursery, which is a cloud of gas and dust where stars are born. The sun likely formed in a cluster with many other stars around the same time, but has since drifted away from its birth cluster.


This cluster of galaxies is made up of about 25 galaxies including the milky way?

Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.

What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?

Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.


How many stars are in m13?

There are estimated to be about 1 million stars in the globular cluster Messier 13 (M13) located in the constellation Hercules.


What has the highest amount of old stars..... An open cluster or globular cluster or association or spiral galaxy?

Whooooo there. That is a silly question. You or you teacher is forgetting about the total number of stars within a galaxy and cluster. Whilst a globular cluster has mainly older stars compared to an open cluster it will only contain a few billion stars, whereas a galaxy can have upwards of 500 billion stars, many of them old. So the answer is not definitive, but I think the answer you are looking for is global clusters.


What name is given to the huge group of stars that are closed?

Globular ClusterA huge group of stars that are close together is a star cluster. With many more stars it is a galaxy.

Which has more stars a globular cluster or a nebula?

A globular cluster has between 1,000 and a million stars gravitationally bound.Unfortunately, there are many types of nebula.EmissionReflectionDiffuse (Emission and Reflection joined)DarkPlanetarySupernovaEach with a varying number of stars from 1 to many. It all depends on the size of the nebula and how many new stars have been formed.In all likelihood, but not certain, a globular cluster will contain the most stars.

Globular clusters usually contain fewer stars than open clusters true or false?

Actually the terms "Globular" and "Open" are not related to the number but the age of the stars. Globlular clusters are many old stars packed in spherical form (they look like hazy mothballs to the naked eye) and "open clusters" are many young stars formed close to each other. The constellation Pleiades is an example of open cluster.


Why are there many stars in the galaxy?

If there weren't so many stars it wouldn't be a galaxy, probably a cluster.
